Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is preparing a shock move for Newcastle United striker Nile Ranger, according to reports in the Blackpool Gazette.
Ranger has been with Newcastle since 2009 and has made 49 league appearances for the St James' Park club.
Newcastle were one of the busiest clubs during the course of the summer transfer window, with a number of key players leaving the club including the likes of, Kevin Nolan, Jose Enrique and Joey Barton.
Even though the transfer window has come to a close, the emergency loan window is now open for Championship clubs and Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston is in talks with the Magpies and is trying to arrange a loan deal for the striker.
Speaking to the Blackpool Gazette, Holloway said: "I don't like talking about other people's players but my chairman has been talking to them constantly though nothing has materialized yet."
Last season the 19-year-old forward made 28 appearances for Newcastle in all competitions and managed to score one goal.
So far this season Blackpool is currently eighth in the Championship with eight points after five games.
